    Been living off grid 27 years .
    I did a federal patent which makes me absolute Owner and the state no longer has a vested interest in my LAND.
    Its not property , real property , real estate etc ( commercial terms).
    I dont pay taxes on my Private land ( classed as my shelter) nor do I need a permit for anything.
    Whatever I'm not good at I hire people who are.
    Land ownership comes from all the treaties and conquests and the land is for the people.
    I am a constitutional lawyer ( not a court attorney , huge difference !)
    Land ownership is equated with freedom !

      @@HealthAndHomestead I first began learning all this many years ago.
      What got me started was the pdf by Joe Stevens finished by Agustus Blackstone (70 pages), Titled: The final solution to property taxes.
      Then I began researching and dicovered the difference between commercial and private.
      I have much material on this ( and other) subjects.
      I realize there is much contention and dabate on all this , but the truth of it all is we can do this process and its lawful ( and legal).
      If you should want more info I can later get you my email and you can do your due dilligence.
      Thanks for asking.
      Have a great day.

    These are great tips. I think when we see videos of people buying land and living in cabins and stuff we get kind of wrapped up in the looks and thoughts of leaving the city. All the legal stuff can cost so much money and time but you wouldn't know especially if you're young and don't have experience in construction or with purchasing a house/property. These kinds of videos are super helpful so I appreciate you taking the time to explain.

    Great video, however, after #9... it's wise to do a few more things... some less critical, like along with electricity (#4), check out how the internet &/or cell coverage will be. Others are much more critical:
    A) Get the soil sampled (mainly for compaction: "buildability" and get a "perk test" if you need septic)... some areas may not compact properly, and it will cost a whole lot more to build than you'd expect. (could go under #9)
    B) In Florida (& a few other places) have someone check for the likelihood/probability of a sink-hole appearing on your property (especially where you want to put your home, outbuildings, or livestock). (could go under #9)
    Lastly,
    C) Find out if there are any endangered species of plants OR animals that MIGHT live in the area... and IF any are found on the land you want, then will those species keep you from using your property in the manner you'd desire? (could go under #2)

      @@santoshdl In the rural parts of the US, it's helpful (if you want to know what the cell coverage is), to be-friend some locals and ask which carriers work well (or don't work at all) in those areas.
      Getting electricity is a different cost for every situation and it depends upon the utility company: it might need to go 100' or 10 miles. Some companies will pay to run the line, some you need to split cost, and others you need to pay it all.
      If you're paying it all, and it's a long distance, then it may be cost effective to go completely off-grid with solar, wind, hydro, or some combination of 2 or more (again, depends on the situation and the area).

    You need to know if the land is a toxic site, but this isn't in the video. You need to know if there is noise pollution. (Not all noise is constant, so it might not be obvious right away.)
